Calderon The Courtier

CHAPTER IV
5/8

Enough--I served thee, and thou didst repay us.

Thou hast washed out thy crime in the blood of the infidel--thou art safe from detection.

In Roderigo Calderon, Marquis de Siete Iglesias, who will suspect the Roderigo Nunez--the murderous student of Salamanca?
Our device of the false father stifled even curiosity.

Thou mayest wake to the future, nor tremble at one shadow in the past.
